Club career

Early career

Mahović began his career with both Olimpic Sarajevo and Zeljeznicar youth teams.[2][3] In 2011, he joined the professional ranks by signing with Famos-SAŠK Napredak in the First League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[4] After a season with Famos, he resumed playing in the Bosnian second-tier by signing with Bratstvo Gračanica.[5] Mahović spent the remainder of the 2012-13 season with Goražde.[6] The following season, he joinedČapljina.[7] His tenure with Čapljina was short-lived as he signed with league rivals Rudar Kakanj in the winter transfer market.[8] After the conclusion of the season, he left Rudar.[9][10]

Premier League

Following his departure from Rudar, he signed with Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina side Travnik.[6][11] However, his stint in the top-tier league was cut short as his contract with Travnik was mutually terminated during the winter break.[12] In his debut season with Travnik, he appeared in 11 matches.[1] Throughout his time with Travnik, he also made his debut in the country's national cup tournament.[1]

Following his contract termination with Travnik, he played the remainder of the campaign with his former club Goražde in the country's second-tier league.[13] He left Goražde near the season's conclusion as the club was experiencing financial difficulties.[14]

Canada

In the summer of 2015, he played abroad in the Canadian Soccer League with Brantford Galaxy.[15][16][3] He recorded his first goal for Brantford on July 12, 2015, against Scarborough SC.[17] In his debut season in the Canadian circuit, the team failed to secure a playoff berth by finishing eleventh in the league's first division.[18]

Olimpic Sarajevo

After a season abroad, he returned to Olimpic Sarajevo to play in Bosnia's premier league.[19][20][21] He re-signed with Olimpic for the following season.[22] After the club's relegation, his contract was extended.[23][24] In his final season with Sarajevo, he participated in the 2017–18 Bosnia and Herzegovina Football Cup, where the club was eliminated in the quarterfinal by Zvijezda 09.[1][25]

He left Sarajevo during the 2017-18 winter transfer market as his contract was mutually terminated.[26] Shortly after, he returned to the Bosnian premier league to sign with Borac Banja Luka.[27][28] Near the end of the season, Mahović received an injury, which ruled him out for the remainder of the season.[29] In 2019, he was released from his contract with Borac Banja.[30]

Austria

Mahović played in the Austrian Regionalliga with SK Bischofshofen in 2019.[31] His tenure with Bischofshofen would last for three seasons.[32] In 2023, he signed with USV Großarl in the Austrian Landesliga.[32]
